Thursday 21 June – Over 60 passionate individuals gathered to launch our ‘find the solution’ stage with our children and families’ hackathon. The aim of the hackathon was to provide a creative, collaborative space for representatives from local authorities, central government the third sector, and innovators to generate a range of solutions to the challenges faced by vulnerable children and their families.

Last Wednesday, The House of St Barnabas hosted a London Ventures event in their beautiful chapel in Soho. They are a London charity that strives to help homeless people get back into work. We talked about our four proposed solutions to tackling one of London’s biggest issues: temporary accommodation, homelessness and the housing crisis.

On 19th June the London Ventures team held a Dragons’ Den session with members of the Capital Ambition Board (CAB) in order to short-list concepts identified through London Ventures targeted work around homelessness, housing and temporary accommodation.

We regularly speak to local authorities about how we could improve the London Ventures programme. The feedback we receive is that focusing our work around the key issues local authorities face adds immense value. In response to this we’ve been looking at how we can drive sustainable change and transformation to tackle London local authorities’ biggest challenges.
